Not owning a car is a great way to stay fit, save money, and avoid loads of hassle. This is a blog with thoughts, photos, ideas and links about carfree life: walking, active travel, public transport, places and spaces - things that matter to everyone, but even more when you don’t own a car. Photos are by me unless credited. Forthcoming: book on carfree life. Meantime, get in touch via email at carfreelifeoutsidethebox@gmail.com or Twitter @carfreebrighton

The Low Carbon, High Impact Way to Get Your PC Fixed
For a Windows user, there’s only one thing worse than the BlueScreen of Death. And that’s the BlackScreen of Death, accompanied by a series of annoying beeps when you try to re-boot. When this happened to me, a bit of Googling revealed a local tech guy who could come and take a look at the ailing machine. Generally, I like to use service providers who are local, independent and, where possible, low carbon. So when Hove-based pchelpman rocked up on his bike and fixed my pc, I was well impressed: goodbye BIOS beeps, goodbye Black Screen of Death, hello working pc. “Geeks on Wheels” is already spoken for, but Stephen the pchelpman seemed happy with “Geek on A Bike” or maybe “Geek on Two Wheels”? You can find him at www.pchelpman.co.uk
